Preflight Inspection
The preflight inspection section outlines the necessary checks before flight, including verifying fuel quantity, inspecting the engine air inlets, and ensuring that the aircraft is secure. Specific checks include ensuring the oil quantity is between 4-6 quarts, checking the condition of the tires, and ensuring that the carburetor inlet is free of debris.
Engine Start Procedures
This section details the steps for starting the engine, including setting the mixture to full rich, ensuring the throttle is 1/4" open, and engaging the starter while monitoring oil pressure. It emphasizes the importance of checking engine instruments after starting.
Emergency Procedures
The emergency procedures section provides critical steps for various in-flight emergencies, such as engine failure and cabin fire. For engine failure, it instructs pilots to establish a glide, select a landing site, and perform necessary checks on the fuel shutoff valve and magnetos.
V-Speeds
The checklist includes important V-speeds for the Cessna 150M, such as Vr (50-55 KIAS), Vx (56 KIAS), and Vy (68 KIAS). These speeds are crucial for safe takeoff and climb performance.
Post-Landing Procedures
After landing, the checklist outlines steps such as setting the carb heat to cold, turning off the landing light, and ensuring the flaps are up. It also includes instructions for securing the aircraft and recording flight time.
Safety notes
